If you're a Discord user, you're probably spending a decent amount of time looking at screens. And if that's the case, the constant bright light of your computer or phone screen might start bothering you.
Luckily, Discord is one of many apps that offer a dark mode option. When you turn it on, instead of seeing dark text on a white background, you'll see white text on a dark background.
While there isn't any evidence that dark mode can relieve eye strain, running dark mode can look cooler aesthetically, and it can also help your device save battery, depending on what type of screen you have.
Switching to dark mode on Discord is easy, and so is switching back. You can activate dark mode in both the desktop and mobile versions of Discord.
